Well folks, looks like its election season again. Up for grabs are 11 ArbCom seats (9 two-year terms and two one-year terms vacated by Fritpoll and Vanished 6551232), unless our Dear F(l)ounder changes things to get his favourites on Arbcom.
At this point, NewYorkBrad and SirFozzie are pursuing re-election. The terms of FayssalF, Shell Kinney and Carcharoth are also expiring, but no word yet on what they'll do.
A few non-arbs have declared their candidacy: PhilKnight, Harej, and Chase me Ladies, I'm the Cavalry.
Its very early in the game, but any thoughts on this year's horse race?

When I was on ArbCom we talked about expanding it, or possibly establishing delegated tribunals to prehear matters to "spread the load". The problem we kept running into is that there weren't enough qualified, sane, stable people available to staff either an expanded arbcom or a system of delegate tribunals. That problem hasn't gotten any better, and if anything has gotten worse.
There probably are 18 people in Wikipedia who are capable and qualified to serve on the ArbCom, but all of them have enough sense to run away from service in that role. The ArbCom you get, as a result, is a bunch of powerseekers, social manipulators, and other miscellaneous malfunctioners that is guaranteed to do no good.
All the more reason to revive my old "jury duty" proposal. Better to let a dozen randomly selected individuals, some fraction of which will have some sense, decide such matters, instead of a dozen and a half who have been selected entirely for their ability to kiss Jimbo's ass.
